Footage disappears when using VR Converter to convert 2D Source to Fisheye (Fulldome)

​Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:

• Create a comp, 1024x1024
• Create any 2D object, e. g. a text and center it in the comp
• Add the VR Converter effect to the text layer
• Set Input to 2D Source, set output to Fisheye (Fulldome)

Result: The text just disappears. Re-orienting the camera view does not do anything visible.

Expected result: The text is distorted for Fulldome and can be placed in the dome by re-orienting the camera view. This used to work in older versions of After Effects, as you can see for example in this Youtube tutorial at 1:35 :

My system: After Effects 26.3.0 (Build 87), WIndows 11, Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti, Driver 610.62
